John Edminstin: Bluff Oyster Festival Chair on low ticket sales, the chance this will be the final year

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

It's possible this year's running of the iconic annual Bluff Oyster Festival may be the last.  Only half of the four-thousand tickets to the event, taking place on May 23, have been sold.   Normally it's a sell out by now.  Festival chair John Edminstin told Mike Hosking there were early fears about an oyster shortage, but that's eased.   He says unless there's a freak storm in the next couple of weeks, there'll be five boats fishing for oysters right up until the festival opening.   LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
